    Hi,

     

    We have an issue with clientbridges on our wireless network.
    These clients do not support channel 124.

    This causes a clientbridge not to associate with an AP that runs on channel 124.

     

    We have the following channels enabled on our wireless lan:
       country-code NL
       valid-11g-channel 1,6,11
       valid-11a-channel 36,40,44,52,60,100,108,116,124,132
       valid-11a-40mhz-channel-pair 36-40,44-48,52-56,60-64,100-104,108-112,116-120,124-128,132-136
    We run on version AOS-W 6.1.2.4
     
    My question:
    I would like to disable channel 124 in our Regulatory Domain profile, what will happen then?
    Will ARM take care of that by changing the channels in a smooth way?
    Or will all or only the concerning AP's do a reboot, so causing clients disconnecting to the network?

    Do I also have to disable 40mHz-channel-pair 124-128?
    The clientbridge does not support 802.11a-HT

    Generally if it is one channel in many, removing it won't cause much disruption.  The other APs will not reset.  In my experience this sort of change is non-disruptive even to clients connected to that AP, though they may loose one or two pings.

     

    Best to remove the channel pair as well.
